Perfect for family wedding venue near the property
The property provided everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time with our family members and the space was comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. We had a great walk over to the retreat center nearby where we saw deer and a spectacular view of the James River. For adventure and groceries we went to nearby Scottsville where we enjoyed dining and shopping. The wedding was wonderful and the property was perfect to reconnect with family during our stay.

Nature is beautiful
I stayed at Yogi's Paradise after visiting family in neighboring towns. The house was perfect. Very comfortable and clean with everything you'd need in the kitchen. The trees are so beautiful! I was blown away by how beautiful the area is and all of the deer I saw. In the mornings I would sit by the big windows and watch deer eat the grass.

Mixed Bag
The property is as you see it. It's spacious, clean, modern, with great light and a beautiful view of the sunrise. It's a 30 minute walk to the river in one direction and Yogaville in the other. It's comfortable and really has all that you need for a lovely time.
So, why the 3 stars? I was literally contacted at least a dozen times from the time I made the reservation until check in. There was no need for that.
I slept in the room nearest the heat pump and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner was running. It kept waking me up.
There are a list of rules by the front door. It's "don't do this, don't do that." "Noise" hours are between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. because the caretaker lives downstairs and they can hear you. You can hear them. I felt like a naughty teenager trying not to disturb mom.
There are also cameras all over. I would have used the porch, but there was no privacy. It's invasive.
So, lovely property, but the vibe was one of distrust. I felt overly controlled and fearful of making a wrong move. It wasn't restful or relaxing at all. I get that you want your place to be safe and well cared for, but all the cameras and rules feel over the top.

Lovely home
Our family stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we had a wonderful time! The house is so well stocked and every detail has been thought out. Beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and we loved the large living area. The owner was very communicative and sent us lots of advice about the home and the area!

I was in town for business. The place was clean, homey and comfortable. I especially liked the lazy boy in the master bedroom. The property managers live below and helped me with shipping and receiving important packages while I was in town. I just can't say enough about how great this place was.

Delightful stay in Buckingham
We felt right at home in this light-filled house. It was spacious, comfortable and well appointed.
Our hosts quickly and cheerfully replied to our questions.
We will stay here again the next time we visit Buckingham!
